"Fans of earlier Jacob Faurholt albums might be more than just a little estranged by Crystal Shipsss, but anyone who likes his music daring and unconventional will love the unpredictable indie lo-fi psychedelia weirdness of Yay!" 10/10 -disagreement.net
"Yay sports a disarming falsetto throughout from Faurholt and arrangements that emphasize melody and noise in equal measure." -popheadwound.com
"Jacob Faurholt makes lo-fi psych weirdness under the
name Crystal Shipsss. I dig it, but I wouldn’t buy acid
from him." -goldsoundzblog.com/?p=3515

name and an EP under the moniker Why Write?

Credits
Yay was mastered by James Plotkin, who was contacted because of his work with the Canadian doom / ambient / metal-band Nadja.
Nadja’s music was the key inspiration for the CS song
Burning Kingdom.
All songs were written, recorded, and mixed by Jacob
Faurholt.
